Golden Rock
Kyaiktiyo Pagoda also known as Golden Rock. Golden Rock is a well-known Buddhist pilgrimage site in Mon State, Burma. It is a small pagoda (7.3 metres (24 ft)) built on the top of a granite boulder covered with gold leaves pasted on by its male devotees.
According to legend, the Golden Rock itself is precariously perched on a strand of the Buddha’s hair. The balancing rock seems to defy gravity, as it perpetually appears to be on the verge of rolling down the hill. The rock and the pagoda are at the top of Mt. Kyaiktiyo. The pagoda is located near Kyaikto in Mon State in the northern part of the Tenasserim coast. It is at a distance of 210 kilometres from Yangon and 140 kilometers north of Mawlamyine, the capital of Mon State.
